episode 2292: 23-39 Songs for Woody, Pt.1


When I was a teenager in Eastern Pennsylvania in the 1960s I was a dedicated reader of Sing Out! Magazine. I couldn't always afford to buy a copy but the music store where I took guitar lessons let me read each new issue as I waited for my bus home. I also loved the reprints from Sing Out! and usually bought those when they came out. They helped me become more aware of the folk music revival and many contemporary artists. I first heard of Woody Guthrie from the pages of those reprints. I had an LP of some of his classic recordings and was aware of Bob Dylan's “Song to Woody” when I read of his passing in the pages of Sing Out! in 1967. “Home in this World,” is a collection of new renditions of some of his Dust Bowl ballads, on Elektra Records. We'll celebrate that recording with selections from the new CD mixed with classic versions of Woody's Songs and songs about him … this week on the Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
